WATCH: #Speechless Series No.2 Coming out to What?

The #SpeechlessSeries is a space for BlackoutUK contributors to provoke a conversation that challenges the silence.

Here Rob Berkeley shares his story and argues that encouraging people to come out is not enough – coming out to what?

“The writer trapped among a speechless people is in danger of becoming speechless himself. For then he has no mirror, no corroborations of his essential reality; and this means that he has no grasp of the reality of the people around him.” ―James Baldwin from “A Word from Writer Directly to Reader”
